At the start of this intervention to protect pro-Russian Ukranians from Nazi attack there were lots of doubters and various peeps laughing how ridiculous it all was to make such a point.

A whole bleeding Nazi battalion at that not just a handful or two. You know the ones who fought to the end and had to be relocated by the Russians as the BBC said.

Now Canada hosting Nazi's, giving them a voice and subsequently apologising for the cock-up.

Why would Canadians protect Nazi names. What's wrong with naming and shaming. If they are not Nazi's they can make their case.


Absolute sh!t show by so called civilised West. It is clear to me the USA will work with anyone who helps them sell weapons and fight against anyone who opposes their economic interests whether justified or not.


Quite a few people have had their eyes opened since the Iraq war and see how unjust the USA is. No longer a super power imo. Just a big bully with big guns.
